What it means to be an Osher member.

They bring an eagerness to pursue personal learning through a mix of thought-provoking ideas, classes, lectures, discussions, special events and social activities. They enjoy meeting and interacting with other like-minded mature adults. Members volunteer and participate as part of an active and vibrant community of lifelong learners.

Share The Experience

Bringing guests (age 50+) to Osher is a lovely way to introduce them to our community of learners. There is no guest charge. They are welcome to attend Osher courses and Osher LIFE Lectures on a space-available basis.

Call the Osher office (951-827-7139) four days before the event to RSVP for your guest. We ask that you limit your guest requests to one per quarter. To attend multiple events or activities in one quarter, your guest may purchase an Osher membership.

Community Partners

Local businesses, restaurants and organizations partner with us to further engage Osher members. Please patronize our community partners in Riverside and the Coachella Valley, and enjoy discounts on products, services and meals. Our list grows each quarter! More information.
